<p>Some US News statistics are objective but others are ridiculously subjective and mis-weighted. Fact is, William & Mary is the most selective public. Period. It has the highest SAT scores (1360 average), lowest out of state accept rate (22%) and highest commitment to academics. It is also the second oldest US college after Harvard and perhaps the greatest bargain in terms of tuition not to mention an 80% placement rate in medical schools. This school should really be in the top 10 of any survey but it doesn’t have a multi-million marketing budget like Duke or Washington U.</p>
